Bronco68

I have a 68 bronco with a 170 that has been sitting for several years. It wasn't running at first so I just did so basic cleaning up of the plugs/points. It fired right up but was occasionally missing and dumping black smoke. So I decided to replace all the plugs, wires, distributor( original was a dual vacuum advance that was plugged off I replaced it with a single vacuum distributor hooked up to ported vac), and sonic cleaned/rebuilt the carter yf carburetor. All the smoking and missing issues are resolved and it fires up idles like a champ but as soon as I start to give it gas it stumbles and almost dies. Is this a timing issue with the vaccum advance(Initial timing set at 6 degrees) or a gas pump problem (inline filter only getting about a 1/4 of the way full)? I threw a picture of the carb and distributor to see if anyone can confirm that they are compatible I've read that some carb distributor combos will not work if mismatched.
